Keeping movies files/memory small

In order to keep a movie file and memory usage as small as
possible, is it possible to close external casts and open others at
certain points in the movie? I suppose that while an external cast
is open it is eating up memory. For example, I have Voice Overs for
each chapter. Each Voice Over file is 40 Megabytes, (and that is
very compressed). When one chapter is complete, can I close the
external VO cast for that chapter and open another in the same
movie? It has to be the same movie. The way I have everything set
up, my main movie is very long and contains several elements. And
that is my next question, just how long is too long? Is it possible
to have 25,000 frames in a movie with 50 channels?

Well I have all this MIAW action. From the main movie you may
open one of several different MIAWs and the main movie will stay
where it is (it asks questions (200) for you to answer and keeps a
running score). I had it set up as separate MIAWs within one small
movie, but because of the interface "the Man" wanted I can't seem
to figure out how that can possible be done. I have a dropdown menu
in the middle of the screen and if it opens over a MIAW then that
MIAW disappears behind the main movie - can't have that. So all the
questions, which are below the menu have to be in the same movie as
the menu so that the menus can open on top of the questions. So it
looks like I'm going to have one LONG movie. I could tell it to
open another movie when it gets to a certain point - a movie that
looks exactly like the preceeding one except the questions are
different. I don't know how that would look there might be a screen
flicker while the new movie opens.

  • How can I keep the file size small when I render a .mov file to video in PS entended CS4?

    Hi,
    I haven't worked with video in Photoshop before and I am having the following issue:
    I imported a .mov file into photoshop. I trimmed the file by moving the start and finish points to the relevant points on the timeline. I then cropped the image to get rid of unwanted footage on the edge of the screen. I then selected export - render video. On the panel I chose to select only "currently selected frames" as the range and I chose "Quick Time Movie" as the file type. When I check the properties of my newly rendered movie the file size has increased by several times. The file sizes are now much too large.
    I know that I must need to alter some of the render settings but having tried altering many of the settings the result is always the same - a very large file size that is much bigger than my oringinal file.
    If anyone can let me know how I can carry out a simple crop & trim on a .mov file and end up with a smaller more compact file after rendering the video I would really appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

    Hi Marion,
    Thanks very much for your message. I have downloaded that program and it's definitely handy for examining the details of the original file. You mentioned in your message about not having to recode the file - The file I'm editing is originally from a Q3 Zoom video recorder and I can use their in-built software (handyware) to trim the file - this doesn't recode the file and so the file size just reduces by the required amount. Unfortunately there is no facility to crop the file with this software - I've looked for other software that would allow cropping without having to recode the file but I haven't found anything suitable for a simple procudure like this - do you know of any software that allows you to crop a file without recoding? Thanks.

  • Exporting Comp to Flash Animation (and Keeping the File Size Small)

    I have an animation I have made in AE which isn't terribly complicated.
    Maybe 450 X 250, mostly blank background. The artwork was done in Illustrator. There are about a dozen layers, all AI artwork, and the animation is about two seconds.
    When I export the animation as an SWF file, the file size is 1.2MB. What do I need to do to make the file size a lot smaller?
    I am not used to making animations for Flash. My AE animations are usually meant for video applications, but someone decided they want this animation to go on their web site instead.
    Thanks!

    If it is a frame by frame animation try importing the MOV file into Flash rather than exporting from AE.
    Not sure if this will work but it might.  When you publish the file in Flash you will get a resulting SWF file that is created automatically.  See if it is smaller.

  • How do I move files from smaller time capule to a larger one?

    Hello,
    I just bought a new (used) 1TB time capsule to replace my 500mb because I ran out of room on my old one (I deleted lots of movie files and when I tried to back up it said I didn't have enough room for a back-up).  Is there a way for me to transfer everything on the old 500 gb tc to the new one so I dont have to have two tc's running simultaneously?
    Thanks.

    For files you just copy them.. you obviously need to use a computer as the smarts because TC is dumb as a board and can do nothing.
    To move the TM backup is a bit more tricky.
    Mr Pondini has a write up though.

  • Keeping movie files on iPod after moving them to external HD

    I'm running out of disk space on my Powerbook's hard drive because of all my television show files and I want to transfer them to my portable harddrive to free up the space. But if I do this, I'm worried that the files will disappear from my iPod and I don't want that to happen. Is there a way I can delete files on iTunes but keep them on my iPod even while continuing to update the folders they are in (television shows, movies, Limewire, etc.)? Thanks!

    Only by manually managing the updating. If you have the external why not just locate the iTunes library there? You have the iPod for portability you don't need the library on the Powerbook.

  • Export to Flash and keep the file size small!

    Clearly Keynote has a major bug when exporting to Flash. The files become very large, about 10x larger then the combined size of the JPEG's inserted. Earlier today I discovered how to get around this issue, albeit a far from perfect solution. Simply open each picture used in Photoshop and use the "save for web" menu. Save each image as GIF, 128 colors and rebuild the Keynote presentation. Although a color rich picture saved as GIF versus a reasonable compressed JPEG is x 3 or x 4 times larger the end result when exporting the Keynote to Flash is substantially smaller. Apparently Keynote exports to Flash without adding size when GIF's are used. Apple, please fix this "JPEG export" bug!

    Hi Gopal,
    You can get the components in your internal table using the below code-
    lo_struc_descr ?= cl_abap_typedescr=>describe_by_data( <fs_line> ).
        lt_components = lo_struc_descr->get_components( ).
    * Insert the component names in the start of the file
        LOOP AT lt_components INTO ls_components.
          IF lv_string IS INITIAL.
            lv_string = ls_components-name.
          ELSE.
            CONCATENATE lv_string ls_components-name INTO lv_string
            SEPARATED BY cl_abap_char_utilities=>horizontal_tab.
          ENDIF.
        ENDLOOP.
    Here <fs_line> is a work area. Basically we are getting all the fields in the internal table and writing their names in the start of the file.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards,
    Ravi

  • How do I handle a large movie file?

    My wife created a DVD using iDVD containing both slide shows and a couple of movies. The movies play fine in Preview mode, but not on the burned DVD. I read the help files for iDVD and they said that movie files larger than 1GB may not play correctly, and indeed, the files in question are larger.
    My question: If we update to a newer version of iDVD is this problem (or limit, I guess) solved?
    Is there a way to break up a large movie file into smaller ones, but still have iDVD play them sequentially? (And with only one menu item on the main menu?)
    Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

    Dave,
    I have never heard that large movie files may not play correctly. I have filled up many a DVD without experiencing this problem.
    Now on splitting the movie up. Since the movie is already in iMovie, you just need to do a Edit>Split at Playhead to chop up the clip. As long as you don't put anything between the adjacent clips, they will play seemlessly when viewed on the DVD. You will not notice that they were split at all.
    Hope this helps.

  • I am trying to transfer a .mov file to my new iPad Air

    How do I get a home movie (a .mov file) from my desktop to my iPad?  I may need a converter...??

    I can think of Three quick ways
    1) Buy this $30 dongle.  
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC531ZM/A/apple-ipad-camera-connection-kit
    Take a 3 photos with a camera using a clean SD Card.   Take the SD card out of your camera and into an adapter on your computer.  Put the MOV file in the DCIM folder of the SD card.  Now put the SD card into your iPad using the $30 dongle.   Go to the photos app, then import. You should see 3 photos and the MOV on your ipad.
    2) If you have a mac get the MOV imported into iPhoto.   Then put the MOV into an album in iPhoto.  Connect your ipad and mac with a usb cord.   Now in iTunes go deep into the settings to sync that album.  Press SYNC.   Disconnect the ipad from the mac, and you should see the MOV on the ipad in your photos or video APP.   (iPhoto is only made for the mac)
    3) If the MOV file is small, under 25mb, most email programs will let you email the MOV.  Send on your desktop, then go to the ipad, check email, and then download.

  • Is there a program I can use to retrieve corrupted .MOV files, from a HD memory card where some files will open, and others wont?

    Hi,
    I have a Mac OS X version 10.6.8 with a 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.
    I have recently shot some still and moving footage on my Cannon EOS 500 D (digital camera) using an AMICOE SD C10 8 GB high speed memory card.
    After uploading these photos and movies onto my Mac, I am only able to open about 2/3 of the files that appear on the screen.  In the case of the movie files, I can see a number of the file icons, however about 1/3 of them will not open (I get a message saying that Quicktime does not recognise this file - yet it is a .MOV file. Interestingly I can see a small thumbnail for each of these files that will not open, however I am unable to expand the thumbnail into the larger size) and there are a number of photos that simply do not appear as a file or thumbnail.
    Is there a program I can use to retrieve these corrupted .MOV and JPEG files from either my computer or the memory card?
    Thank you for your interest in this question.
    Cheers,
    Shaughno.

    It's likely that the drive is malfunctioning or that there is an internal hardware fault, but to confirm, see below.
    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • How can I burn a dvd with a short movie file on my Imac so it will play on a dvd player? I keep getting an error message on my player "wrong disc type".

    How can I burn a small movie file to a dvd that will play on a dvd player? I keep getting an error message "wrong type of disc" on my player. My burner is built in to my monitor. Will I have to buy software such as Toast to burn with?

    I'm using the burner utility that came with the computer. The video is on I took with my small camera. I'm using a DVD-r disc and I drag the file to the disc icon then hit burn and everything seems ok. I can remove the disc and put it back in and see the file but if I put it in a DVD player it won't play, just get error message.

  • After I import a movie file from the camera memory card, Imovie 10.0.1 acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it worksnow?  Thank you, Filippo

    On IMac 10.9  After I import a movie file from the camera memory card to Imovie 10.0.1 it acts as if the memory card is empty though I know it isn't.... I can't import that file to iMovie again.. is that the way it works now?  Anyone know?  Thanks, Filippo

    I would like to know this too. I imported a lot of files, then Imovie crashed. I went back in and they are not in imovie at all.
    I reconnected the camcorder to import again and though they are still on the camcorder, I no longer see them in the available list of files to import. I'm sure there is some sort of simple setting somewhere that reveals all files even if it thinks they are imported.
    Thanks

  • HT3775 I am trying to open a .mov file in "Quicktime" and it keeps saying it doesn't support the file.

    I have made a movie in "Final Cut Pro X" saved it as a .mov file and "QuickTime" won't open it. It keeps saying that it doesn't recognize the file. Ironically there is another .mov file right next to it on the flash drive that opens just fine. I do notice that the one it does open looks like a little black box with a 'play' arrow button in it when I run the curser over it, but the one it doesn't open has a 'Quicktime' 'Q' in it.
    I try to eject the flash drive and it says "Final Cut Pro X" is still using it, then it shows me a window that shows 6% progress. I am thinking maybe the movie is still loading. I really don't know.

    Try VLC.

  • Slideshow in Photoshop Elements 9 keeps crashing when I try to output it to movie file (wmv)

    Made a slideshow using Photoshop Elements 9 that keeps crashing when I try to output it to movie file (wmv).
    This message appear: Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Error
    This is totally new to me as I have made a few slidshows before and saved them into wmv-files without any problem.I tried to open the file and renew it "save as" and did the whole procedure over again but it still crasches. There is no video in the slideshow and all pics are .jpg and to summarize it - 5 days of work is nearly gone if this doesent convert into a wmv-file..... Pls advise any suggestion what to try here.
    Best regards

    Your crash has nothing to do with the junk filter. It looks more like a corrupt preferences file. If you're curious, you may check the validity of that file issuing the following command in Terminal:
    plutil ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plistWhat does it say? Now, try this:
    1. Quit Mail.
    2. Make a backup copy of the HOME/Library/Mail folder, just in case something goes wrong. You can do this in the Finder by dragging the folder to the Desktop while holding the Option (Alt) key down, for example. This is where all your mail is stored.
    3. In the Finder, go to HOME/Library/Preferences/. Locate the file com.apple.mail.plist and move it to the Desktop (to be deleted if this fixes the problem).
    You'll have to set up your accounts from scratch all over again. If given the option to import existing mailboxes or something like that, don't. Just enter the account information and Mail will automagically rediscover the data in HOME/Library/Mail/ when done.
    You'll also have to re-configure most of your settings in Mail > Preferences. The first thing you should do is go to Preferences > Viewing and disable "Display remote images in HTML messages" if it's enabled.

  • How can I insert an image into an mov file in iMovie while keeping the background music?

    I have a short MOV file movie clip that has background music but one of the images (it's a static element with text) is incorrect. How can I replace the image but keep the backgroup the same? Also what size would the image need to be to properly fit?
    Thank you!
